Atem Tooling Expressive Models

We make power tools for creative minds by exploring new data models and creating sublime tooling.

The core task of the current phase is developing the Atem-CPS technology
stack and to prove the superiority of the concept
for complex design tasks like parametric type design.

Our aim is making software that empowers the user; that is simple to use
by default but unlimited when more might is needed. Software that
helps the user to grow more knowledge and to become more skillful.

Fonts for the world!

The root of Atem is Metapolator and our focus
is on making better tools for type design and typography.
Atem is an infrastructure project that will have the most impact in
the parts of the world with complex scripts that need big fonts
with 1,000s or 10,000s of glyphs.

More than fonts.

Atem is not limited to any specific use. We build big applications and
smaller tech-demos to spark inspiration for other domains.Build your own creative applications using Atem concepts and tooling.

Community and Free Software

Atem is all about making great and Free Software—“free” as in “free speech,” not as in “free beer”—we
collaborate as a community, using git as our main tool.
The contents and
code of this website
are hosted on GitHub. Think of it like a Wiki, but with a workflow
as in Open Source Software.

Of course all source code of our sub-projects
is on GitHub, too. If you are interested in joining our community
see the Collaboration and
Support Us pages as an
inspiration for what you can do.

Project Communication

A big part of this website is dedicated to project management and documentation
of Atem. The Project,
Concepts,
Proposals and
Manuals sections
are there to help us organizing our work and to help you learning about this project.

We strive to be open and transparent, most of our discussions are held
publicly on the Issue Tracker of Atem-Project
or if appropriate on the issue tracker of a sub-project.
